Across 12 matches Gotovtsev averages nearly seven tackles per game, marking him out as a high-volume ball-stopper whose defensive contribution is the cornerstone of his value at prop. His carry numbers are modest in both frequency and gain, which is consistent with a forward deployed primarily to protect structure and contest at the breakdown rather than to generate momentum with ball in hand. His peak output of 14 tackles and 8 carries in a single match signals he is capable of stepping up his involvement significantly when the game demands it.
